TSC is actively supporting the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command (AMCOM) at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL thru a Morgan (Stanley) contract with operational test and evaluation (T&E) of the ATIRCM / CMWS (Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures) / Common Missile Warning System)  deployed on rotary-wing aircraft such as the AH-64 Apache.

The CMWS detects, tracks, and declares missile threats, then hands them off to the ATIRCM system, which fine tracks and jams the missile with laser-based Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM).  TSC fields and operates the SMEOS UV stimulator system to simulate threat surface-to-air missile (SAM) signatures to the CMWS.  Starting in 2008 TSC will also support T&E of the ATIRCM system, and will be deploying and operating a radiometric detector array for monitoring the ATIRCM jam (laser) beam.
